Hello all.

Finally, a haven for the outcast! In the UK, it's generally all about the big sizes and that's cool. But I like these 4-pots and it's cool that there's a whole forum for them! Anyway, here's some of my E30's from the past 4 years...

I like your taste. Are the 318 and touring the same colour? What are the name(s)/code(s)?

Welcome!

Cheers all.

Always Lazer Blue. For some reason, I only end up buying Laser Blue. Am on the look out for a Cabrio too. Will immediatley get the M42/M44 treatment of course.

5 Speed swap? You talking about the gearbox? They both have standard 5-Speed manuals.

Oh - that's not my current Touring. I had that a couple of years ago. Now I have a 5 speed manual 1.9L M44 powered Touring - same sports interior, same colour.

Just waiting for a re-map and big bore throttle body and that's probably as far as I will take the tuning - I kind of like things to stay stock. Maybe some BBS RS or 16" Alpina's to round off. 4-stud sucks for wheels.

There is some amazing tuning happening on this site.

Hey nice cars and great colour (although I am biased!)  Just one quick question though, by any chance do you have any front quarter shots in higher res that you'd be able to post?  I really like the clear/ smoked lenses with the Lazurblau look - may consider it myself but would love to see it in a larger pic for another look.

Thanks and great looking cars!

Pete

How'd you know I'm a zoner?

How do - royalratch has found a new home.

Can't wait to get this Touring pristine. Re-spray to follow as it has enough nicks and dents everywhere to warrant it.

I'll get those hi-res picks up in a minute petem3

Just picked this up. It's Lazer Blue like my coupe. Has AC (which isn't a big deal in the US but is pretty rare here) and has a tidy body. The clutch is totally gone and the M40 in it overheats - but who cares?

Already have a 1.9L M44 with 318iS gearbox and prop ready to drop in - brand new E36 clutch too.

Awesome touring... the first I've seen in Lazur Blue... very nice!

Can't wait to see those pics of your 2 dr in high res too.

Cheers, Pete

I've had trouble tracking those down dude - will get to it this weekend whilst I dog out my back-ups for a clean-out anyway.
